I'm a Little Teapot

by Gygax Mimic

Here is my handle, and Here is my spout. . . . . . . . . . .
 
I am singing this and humming these kind of songs to my offspring. Of course the others are all looking at me like I have lost my mind. I do tell Doots and Tonton that I now have a son. The others then start to gather all the corpses and light them on fire. All of a sudden a tunnel appears in the fire, and I am on guard.
 
In the tunnel is a creature running towards us, it is being chased by some other creatures. Then someone appears near us and starts to talk to us like it is a normal thing to do. It's name is Jakix, and is an annoying person, they say that the creature running to us is "Vikeret" and to be a party member. Once Vikeret comes out of the portal tunnel, the portal closes and the fire goes out as well.
 
Then Jakix offers Doots a strange vial of liquid, and then disappears, good riddance. After that I try to sense any hostility from Vikeret, and can not sense any. So I decide to just got into Chest mode, all 51 feet tucked in and then continue my humming. Still sort of listening in, I learn the Vikeret is an Artificer/Tinkerer. Also, Vikeret is a Formian? Tonton starts to inspect the carts and what they are carrying, Vikeret inspects the vial of liquid, and as Doots starts to walk and inspect the carts I tiptoe behind him.
 
Vikeret tells Doots the liquid is BAD, very very very BAD. Doots gets a look of horror and does not want to take it back, but he does. Tonton it seems wants to connect the carts together and pull them, so we all look and see if it is possible and how to do it. I find some Iron bars and eat a few, yummy. I end up helping Tonton to move the fallen tree off the road. After some time the carts are attached to each other and Tonton is strapped in to pull them all, and I sit on top of the last cart.
 
As we start to exit the forest we have traveled through, to get back to the battlefield, I see a weird dark shadow move above, in, and around the forest behind us, and then it disappears. The battlefield is littered with bodies all over the place. after a time we are stopped near a Troll camp by a Large Troll.
 
Doots seems to be out of it for quite some time as we all wait for him to respond to the Troll. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
 
After a while Doots responds and the Troll leads us through the encampment to Seji's location. Where we see Captain Bison and the Tree leaving. We stop in-front of a very Large tent, Seji's. Doots and I mess with the Troll, making him think I am a special trained Box. The Troll asks for all the goods we brought, which Doots give to him for free?.? But we do keep the last cart for ourselves, and we get paid 60,000 GP for the goods and the mission we did, I hold most of it.
 
Off in the distance we can see the mercenary encampment location, and go there to plan our next course, and we stay for a month before the next adventure starts.
